I was playing a YouTube video on my LG V10 in the same room as my smart TV (which was on) an tapped an icon on top, of a TV with sound coming from the bottom left corner. My TV started playing the YouTube video on the tv screen. Video & Audio. Now if I can figure out how to make it work with TV & Movie downloads!

Umm... A2DP a protocol for stereo audio and control via Bluetooth...
I think what you meant was DLNA...
The tag that came up when it was playing said "BluetoothA2DP". I assume that means that someone has improved it in the 10 years it's been around.
In fact, I cannot find a single article anywhere about a Bluetooth profile for streaming video as it is such low bitrate. That's why aptX was such a big deal, it improved quality while lowering the bandwidth requirements, for audio.
As for the icon you describe, this is what it is for:
https://www.youtube.com/pair
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/3230451 (yes it says iOS, but it is the page for all devices.)
"If your TV or games console supports connecting over Wi-Fi, your device will be visible on the Connected TVs screen on your phone, tablet or computer. It isn't possible to remove devices connected over Wi-Fi from your Connected TVs list."
So you may have connected automatically with no manual setup.

Did you try allcast?

Just thought I share this with everyone. While fiddling with my Tab tonight, I accidentally clicked on Samsung's AllShare app I previously installed, but never tried.
To my surprise, the app quickly went into discovery mode and a "WDTV live" popped up among the list of supported devices. Since I was just watching a movie on my WDTV live I was first completely puzzled as to how the heck Tab found it and just for the kicks I made a connection with the WDTV live. It didn't require any passwords, numbers or anything - simply made the connection in a second or two.
A list of videos I had on the Tab showed up, I clicked one and voila! - the video soon went streaming from the Tab to my WDTV live and then to my projector screen!
After a few minutes I remembered I recently plugged into the WDTV live a WIFI USB dongle to be used with my keyboards. I had no idea that WDTV would be able to receive anything other than keyboard inputs through them, but turns out it does!
I didn't do a lot of testing, but it seems to work very well - had no problem at all streaming DIVX quality video from the tab and even managed to play one 720 movie as well as 1080. Both of them are heavily compressed, tough, so be warned. I also tried playing a h264 720 movie but it was just all black for a minute so I gave up. This is the same movie that Tab plays normally through movie app, so I'm guessing it's probably the WiFi transfer rate that's the bottleneck. Maybe it would work after enough of data was transfered, but as I said - I didn't wait too long. Photos and music work just fine.
So, there you have it, if you have WDTV live, a WIFI USB dongle and the need to stream from the Tab, you can do it without any problem!
You can also use twonky and stream you media to an xbox 360 or ps3 as well.

I'm curious to find out if it's possible to stream audio from my (networked) Sony Bravia KDL-32W650A to my M8. I'd like to be able to sync the audio so I can use headphones with the phone, so I don't disturb my wife and daughter while watching late at night. Using a direct headphone connection is out of the question, as I have a rather large K9 that likes to roam and trip over any wires running across the floor. Since I already have TV SideView and Smart Remote on my handset to control the TV, it would be nice to be able to stream the audio back to it.
Any suggestions?
On edit: It appears that this should be possible (mirroring) via Miracast, but appears that it may be broken in Sense 6.

What I know, you can send audio and video from android devices to TV, but not from TV to devices.

I'm aware of that, but I want to stream in the other direction (just audio). I know Koush was/is working on integrating this into his AllCast app, but I think it only works with FireTV.
Is there a way to play a video file from the head unit and have it play on the video output monitor and not the main screen and NOT use a DVD player? I know there are apps that will mirror the dash to another output, but I don't want a mirror. I want my kids to watch a video file in the back seat while I have navigation or some other screen on the dash.
No the video out is actually physically connected via an internal electronic switch to the DVD/Video In composite signal and never actually passes through the android part of system. There is no way to display anything from the android computer to the video out.
On my P20 I noticed a weird phenomenon when I connected the phone (USB C) to a projector (VGA) by a simple cable with no power up feature:
1. Desktop mode - there is no video through the Netflix app, though there is audio and subtitle.
2. Phone mode - there is video and audio but no subtitle.
The only subtitles I was able to get to show up through the projector were hard coded variety through streaming websites.
Has anyone had success with all three components of a Netflix item - audio, video and subtitle?
Thanks!

Could this be a FAULTY CABLE issue, or VGA connection in general issue?
A few days on and still no ideas ?! Can someone step up to the plate please?
So my mother uses all kinds of apps to watch her shows and **** like that on her LG webOS Smart TV.
Now, we have xFinity, the fastest internet you can get in the city. So she has xFinity stream which has shows from TNT, such as "Animal Kingdom"
I try to screen cast, it works until I turn on an episode of that for her. The Xfinity stream app notices I'm doing that won't allow it.
Our phones also have a built screen recorder. Thanks OnePlus. So dope....
I even try that. It records everything I'm doing on my phone. But when I press play on the episode. It only records the sound and you see it playing but the screen is black.
Any thoughts?
Also I am rooted and all that good stuff.
